Abstract:
In the title compound, C(13)H(14)N(2)O(4)S(2) (alternative names: diphenyl-methane-4,4'-disulfonamide, nirexon, CRN: 535-66-0), the two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 70.8 (1)°. There are two sets of shorter (H⋯O < 2.1 Å) and longer (H⋯O > 2.4 Å) N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds per sulfonamide NH(2) group, which together result in hydrogen-bonded sheets parallel (102). Adjacent sheets are connected to one another by an additional N-H⋯N inter-action so that a three-dimensional network of hydrogen-bonded mol-ecules is formed. The investigated polymorph is identical with the form II previously described by Kuhnert-Brandstätter & Moser [(1981). Mikrochim. Acta, 75, 421-440].

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
